Answer:

The snowstorm having impeded our travel plans.

His mind constantly thinking about sports.

Explanation:

Absolute phrases are those phrases that modify a noun in a sentence but not only the noun alone. Rather, it modifies the whole/ entire sentence altogether but not connected to the main sentence with a conjunction.

In the given sentences, the absolute phrases are-

<u>"The snowstorm having impeded our travel plans" and "His mind constantly thinking about sports"</u>. These two phrases help modify the main clauses in their respective sentences but has no conjunction joining it to them. Moreover, a comma is used to separate them from the main clause and the main clause can still stand as a meaningful sentence on its own even without the presence of the absolute phrases.

Correct the error of faulty parallelism in the following sentence.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The faulty parallelism is caused by the "he was" in the second clause in the sentence. The corrected version is: Jefferson was both the writer of the Declaration of Independence and the nation's third president.

Explanation:

A faulty parallelism results when a sentence or list is not structured so the grammar is parallel. This affects the flow and syntax of the sentence making it harder to understand or read.  This error is also known as a parallel structure error or a parallel construction error. For lists, you want to assure that each point begins with a noun, or each point begins with a verb and not a mixture of different parts of speech. You also do not want to mix gerunds with infinitives, for example, when listing your skills or qualities in a sentence on your CV.

alekssr [168]

The fact that as he states it himself, he made sure to use examples from actual writers about the actual meaning and usage of a word. In other words, he quoted their writings to illustrate the meaning of the words as they were used by actual people.

Thus, the meaning and use of the words was no longer just theoretical but practical as well. He was also very prescriptive, meaning that he asserted his opinions by using humor or judgment on the intrinsic quality of the notions the words were describing. Here that can be clearly seen by the way he uses the adjective “undefiled” (meaning not dirtied) to refer to the only variety of the English language than in his view is the proper one.
